Advancing the knowledge and enjoyment of numismatics
Latest news from the club
The Willamette Coin Club held its first ever virtual club meeting on April 16. It was a great success. We got to socialize and talk about coins. A member gave a presentation on Civilian Conservation Corps Tokens (it is available at https://ccctokens.com). We gave away a coin to a club member (to be delivered by USPS).
If the State of Oregon maintains its “Stay Home, Save Lives” order in May, we’ll hold another virtual meeting next month. (Note: We did!)

The Willamette Coin Club presents its annual youth coin collecting workshop on August 15.
It will feature presentations on US and foreign coins, raffles and free coins to young collectors.
The event is free and open to the public. Families are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Sometimes it’s easy, and sometimes a challenge. At our next club meeting on June 20, 2019 JK Kelly will be sharing with you a step by step process to attribute Late Roman bronze coinage, even if you don’t read Latin.
JK will introduce you to the many books, web sites, and other tools to help you on your very own Roman Way.
Sometimes they are not so easy.
And sometimes they are. Yes, that shiny silver looking coin is made of bronze.
Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day; the same goes for learning the ins and outs of not only enjoying the object, but learning from it.
Bring a Roman coin that you would like to learn how to attribute.
